Arty Belongs in the Back! (DEPRECATED)

**I WILL NO LONGER BE UPDATING THIS MOD**

The vanilla HOI4 game gives artillery a combat width of 3. This mod reduces that number down to 0.

*********************
Historical Reasoning:
Artillery, historically, has been used primarily as indirect fire behind the front line. Because it is not directly on the front line, it should not contribute any actual combat width based on the game's definition of combat width. AA and anti-tank have retained their vanilla values because these are primarily direct fire weapons, meaning they were employed on the front line usually.
*********************
Compatibility:
This mod replaces the unit files for all field and SP artillery. If any other mod changes these files, it will be incompatible with this mod. There is a fix however. Go to this mod in your steam workshop folder. Open the descriptor file in notepad (or similar) and add:

dependencies= { "ConflictingMod" }

Change "ConflictingMod" with the incompatible mod's name. KEEP THE QUOTES. This should, theoretically, solve the incompatibility. If not, let me know and I will try and help.
